Second Thoughts (2022)

After Marie's boyfriend proposes in front of his family, she escapes to the countryside, overwhelmed and uncertain. Seeking solitude, she is instead confronted by manifestations of her thoughts: her mother suggests baby names, ex-boyfriends descend from trees, and a woman in a sari poetically recounts her life. When her fiancé arrives, their conflicting thoughts collide, prompting questions about vulnerability and honesty in their relationship. Zora Rux, in her directorial debut, crafts a surreal exploration of self-discovery through strikingly poetic scenes, blending humor and introspection in this unique narrative.
